She says that Adam is very passionate about fishing and has accomplished all this by himself. She praised Adam for his hard work and reiterated that they had just been the facilitators and didn’t push him into doing it. Mrs. Molloy also acknowledged the efforts made by the angling club where Adam has been practicing. She said that if it weren’t for the expertise and support provided by the angling club, Adam would not have gotten selected.

He was hopeful that the success of young Adam is going to inspire other members to achieve the same level of excellence that he has achieved.

The exploits of young Adam haven’t gone unnoticed. The Principal of his academy, Dr Geoff Baker was also quite pleased with Adam and noted that his success in sports was a good thing as it is just as important as academic success.
